Planned by the government changes to the Polish emblem

  1. Honestly? I don’t hate it. It kind of reminds of lot of older Polish CoA (and current voivodeships CoA). The current red hue is much better however.

  2. I fancy the current one much better. It looks unique and simple. The proposed changes make it look much less special and somewhat archaic.

  3. They should have changed his stupid expression.
    Looks like his tongue is numb and he can’t roll it back in and the crown weighs 50 kg.

  4. I dont think coats of arms should have an official graphic design anyway. They should be legally defined by blazoning. Here only thing that would change is the legs, other changes are just different (better) interpretations.

  5. I don’t like the eye (in my opinion it makes the eagle look too sad/sleepy) and the crown but it’s still better than the current one

  6. Hey, it’s kinda similar to ours, cool. Though perhaps i would still keep the legs white, I think it’s more unique that way. But the outlines really improve the visibility.

  7. at first look right does look better

    but the more I think about it, it looks like clip art and the red is worse

  8. Any source that gov is planning this? All I could find is some random Twitter account by that sigillum authenticum name.

  9. Left one is simple and minimalist which is not case in any other country in the world. I prefer the current (left) one…

  10. Could be just me, but the tongue and eyes in the version on the right make the poor eagle look like a derp…

  11. I don’t hate any of them but the current one is better in my eyes. I’m not really feeling into so many black lines all over the eagle

  12. Finally, this has been requested by heraldists and historic fans for more than a decade now. Here are some community efforts with reasoning for changes from many years ago.
    I do **really** recommend reading the first link(with translator). It provides, the reasonings why current emblem is just bad design and not really a true emblem.

  13. I love the improved version. Single version of argent, no ugly gradient that makes it look 3d. Metals aren’t next to each other.

  14. I don’t like the proposal. The old eagle looks like a silver jewel, it seems to shine thanks to the simple design and color palette. The new one looks cartoonish.

    Poland has one of the best state symbols of the EU, what’s not broken shall remain unmolested.
